Hindi Divas Celebrated with Fervor and Enthusiasm in Central university of Jammu.
JAMMU 14 Vice Chancellor, Central University of Jammu, Prof. Sanjeev jain, was the chief guest on the occasion. Prof. Jain exhorted the employees to whole heartedly adopt Hindi in their day to day functioning as well as official work. He said that languages have to be promoted in such a way that the ‘Make in India’ initiative is being promoted. He said that we should feel proud of our language and resolve to promote it even more strongly.
Prof. Jain said that even today the mentality of Hindi speaking people is that if someone speaks in English then he is considered educated and if someone speaks in Hindi then he is not given importance. We have to work to bridge the gaps arising from this mentality and connect everyone with Hindi. While other countries like China, Germany, Japan are progressing in their own language, then why can’t India progress?
Vice Chancellor said that we should abandon the tendency to work as per our wish and should unite and do administrative work in Hindi only. There is nothing simpler and more convenient than one’s own language and only this language can transform a country from developing to developed. Although there are problems, their solutions are also available. The Vice Chancellor said that in future we will prepare question papers in the university through Hindi medium but for this everyone’s support is necessary. The Vice Chancellor said that the main objective of celebrating this day is to promote the importance of our language, so that our coming generations make our language more important and remain connected with it.

The importance of Hindi language lies in our way of thinking, our cultural heritage, and the development of our society. Hindi is spoken in various states and regions of India, and is a common medium of communication among people. We should understand that Hindi language is important not only in our country but also all over the world. It is a language that serves as a medium for people around the world, and through language we share our thoughts and ideas with the world.
He echoed Justice Krishnaswami and said that “if we need a single script for all Indian languages, it is Devanagari”. He talked about preparing a framework of Bhavishyam in Hindi which would be simple and easy and people could adopt it in colloquial language.
